Desierto 25/5, Merlot 2005, far better than most mendoza´s merlot




Desierto 25/5 Merlot 2005, USD 10
Striking merlot from 25 de mayo,High Rio Colorado Valley ,La Pampa. One merlot with great typicity for grape and showing striking attractiveness. Ripe and abundant black cherries and black currant coverd nicely with strong chocolate. Sweet tannins and wide in the palate. Dashes of soft spice like black pepper. Not very lasting though. I´d say 89 points with an excelent value. Far better than most Mendoza´s Merlots.
